Figures show Greens fail council services in Brighton and Hove

New figures published today show that the Greens have failed Brighton and Hove council services. On schools, recycling, pollution and complaints, the Greens are failing to hit their targets. Labour have published a report card, and contrasted it with their pledges to improve the city.

The Greens promised a lot but on so many crucial areas, like providing more school places, keeping our streets clean and building more homes, they have let us down. After four years of the Greens in Brighton and Hove, it is time for a change in May.

The worrying figures from 1 April to 30 September 2014, to be discussed at the Policy and Resources committee meeting on 4 December, indicate the following:
